I have had dealings with Kiernan through various local bulletin boards. Didn't you even get most of your posting privileged revoked, Kiernan? Anyways, Kiernan, I suggest VERY strongly that you find, read, and memorize the Netiquette document. Repeat some of your past performances around here and you will most likely find yourself losing many priveleges, if not your account. I take back my first statement. Marc was only inquisitively naive, not violently rude. -Steve -- judd@sgt-york.lanl.gov // \X/
